All you need is time, you say, as you look into her eyes
She says, "If all you need is time, you've had plenty"
You say, "Let me be the one to decide"
You know you need her so, but you've got mountains left to climb
And time's gonna fly, and you're gonna cry when she says goodbye

You tell her you love her more than life itself, and you mean what you say
But what can she believe when you turn and walk away
This dream is there before you, wake up and make it stay
Cause time's gonna fly and you're gonna cry when she says goodbye

The highest mountain left for you to climb is the mountain of your fear
It faces you and all you say is "No, not now, not here"
You turn and run but you can't see that time runs just as fast
And one day it may catch up with you at last

And it's gonna take time for you to forget the pain of the dreams you've lost
So before you wait your life away, think of what it might cost
Take this moment while you may, and say the things that you've gotta say
Or time's gonna fly, and you're gonna cry when she says goodbye
